VARIETY, OF FEED REQUIRED
Tastes snd Inclinations of Live Stock
Bhould Be Consulted 8o Far
as Is Prsctlcsble.
Provide a variety of feeds; this has
been found to agree with the appe
tites and tastes of the snlmals. The
tastes and Inclinations of tbe stock
should be consulted in so far as prac
ticable, especially In the quality of
feed; quantity will never make up for
lack of quality. There Is nothing that
will exceed the green grass of nat. re
for the horse, the cow, tbe sheep or
tbe hog. This has Its period snd
makes an excellent balanced ration..
It Is an antidote for almost sll the Ills
and ailments of the animal, especially
those caused by a sesson on dry feed,
sbuse and starvation after s severe
winter. As a final admonition for a
Inck of feed, never start Into the win
ter with more stock than your supply
of feed will abundantly supply. The
harvest is abundant and there is time
to save feed.
SWINE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE

No branch of live stock farming Is
more productive of satisfactory re
sults thsn the raising of wellbred
swine, if conducted with s reasonable
care. Hogs fit into tbe modern scheme
of farming on nearly every farm, and
are one of the most Important ani
mals to raise both for meat snd for
money. They require less labor, less
equipment, and less capital, make
greater gains per hundred pounds of
concentrated feed, reproduce them
selves fester snd in greater numbers,
and givd a quicker turnover of money
than any other animal except poultry.

Artirle No. Planting the Vine Crop and lima Beans: Degln to Knjoy Your
Garden Early. Making and Using Hlquld Manure. Order
Heed* liir Pall aud Winter.
(Copj i Uhfed by W. Atlee Durpoe CJ., B»ed
Grower*, Plittu.).
Among the lost thing* to be
planted in completing the plant
ing of your garden are the vine
crops—muskmelous, watermelons,
cucumbera, squash and pumpkin
and lima beana. All of these
things are warm blooded by na
ture. ' There are two facta con
cerning their plautiug that the
beginner will learn tor himself if
he fails to proQt by the experience
of oiher gardeners First, noth
ing is gained by attempting to
"rush the season" by sowing these
things early. Tho old rule that
it is time enough to plant them
when one cannot sleep comfort
ably with anything other than a
sheet for coveriiig, is a pretty
good one to keep in mind. In
planting earlier, even if >the seed
germinates and the little seedlings
escape a late frost, growth will be
so slow, and the plants be so se
verely checked that in nine caees
out of ten a second planting of
the same thing mado a week or so
later will overtake the earlier
planting.' I saw a striking illus
tration of this last summer in a
field of Lima Beans on a sheltered
southern slope. The owner, a
market gardener, lmd been in a
hurry to get the Qrst half of this
field in, ten days later he planted
the rest with the same variety and
the same seed. From the second
planting he made his first. picking
four days earlier thau from the
first planting.
Prepare to Give the Vlue Crops a Run-'
nlug Start.
But if these things cannot be
started until later than most of
the other vegetables, it is all the
more necessary to give them such
favorable conditions that they will
grow atrong aud fast when they
do begin. This is tho reason that
most gardeners find that it pays
to plant the vine crops, melons,
cucumbera, etc., in specially pre
pared hills. Let me explain in
passing, to the beginner, that
really a hi'll is not a hill, that I
have seen beginners who took this
term literally, actually making a
cone shaped pile of soil nearly
eighteen inches high aud slick the
seed iu at the top of it. The hills,
on the contrary, should be as level
as any other part of the garden
and ouly where the soil is very wet
and heavy should they be elevated
above the general level, and this
for purposes of drainage only.
The hilla for planting should bo
made up aa follows: Mark ont
rows four to eight feet apart each
way according to the variety to be
grown, then with a hoe or spad
ing fork make a hole four to six
inches deep aud eighteen to
twenty-four inches square. Into
each of these holes put a fork full
of thoroughly rotted manure, or
if that cannot possibly be obtain
ed, three or four hands fulaof the
"starting mixture" described in a
previous article, equal parts of
bone meal, dried blood, or tank
age and a shovel full or so of
"humus." Chicken mauure and
ashes are also a good combination
to use for enriching the hill. The
hill should be made deeper when
mauure is to be used. Kven with
manure it is advisable to use a
little of the fertilizer.
After the manure and fertilizer
is dug into and mixed with the
aoil, cover it over again with the
soil which has been removed lead
ing the surface fine and level aud
little if any above the general
level. On the freshly prepared
hill plant the seed covering a
quarter to a half an inch deep ac
cording to size. Bow about fifteen
seeds of cucumbers, eight or teu
of watermelons, orsummer squash,
and five to eight of winter squash
or pumpkin. Distribute the seed
well over the space prepared.
Firm tho soil well down ovyr the
seed with tho back of your rako
or hoe.
getting Out Vine* Prom tbe Cold frame.
In setting out any of the vine
crops from pots, etfeu when they
have l>een carefully grown in dirt
bands, the job must lie managed
carefully or they will will/badly.
Use plenty of water, ami shade
for a day or Itjro. A supply of
tobacco dust should be kept on
hand, so that the ground may be
sprinkled as soon as the plants
begin to push through, and this
should be used freely from then
on aa a preventive for striped
beetle and other enemies.
Don't Let Any Crops Lag.
All tbe things which are grow
ing in tbe garden uow should be
watched carefully and given some
special attention when neede i. I
have already called attention to
the fact that a lack of available
nitrogen was likely to be the most
likely source of trouble with any
GRAHAM, N. C., MAY 23, 1918
crop which does iiot seem to cotne
on as fast as it should. "Liquid
Manure" also is very rich in uitro
gep in available form and is of
particular vAlue for backward
crops or for flowers which you
want to have iu extra fine shape
for their blooming period. The
tiest material for making liquid
mauure is cow manure, but hen
manure or even ordinary stable
manure will answer. The main
objection to it usually is, that it
is disagreeable to handle, but this
can be to a largo extent overcome
by the following method;
Get a barrel or a keg aud bury
it a third or a half in the soil, pre
ferably in a shady spot, and of
course as much out of tbe way as
possible. Fill this about one-fifth
full of manure, aud add water
until about two-thirds full. Use
this as a stock solution, adding
water when needed. It may be
taken out with a dipper tied to a
wooden handle of convenient
length. A dipperful or two poured
into a watering can full of water
will produce very satisfactory re
sults. If an old funuel and a piece
of coarse b«ggiug are kept on
hand the liquid manure may be
strained, aud this will prevent
clogging of the spriukler. Free
use of this manure water around
roses aud other flowers for cutting
as they begin to come into bud
aud bloom, will give splendid re
sults.
A shortage of nitrogen is shown
by a lack of the dark green color
that normal leaves should show.
If an application of nitrate of soda
or liquid immure does not cure
the trouble, a more general tome
may bo needed. For this purpose,
bone flour and genuine guano are
good. BeiugH 1. »s soluble thau
nitrate" of soda, they should be
stirred well into the soil by cul
tivating.
Begin to Enjoy four (Jsriieti lisrly.
A common mistake made by the
garden beginners is to wait longer
than necessary before he begins
to enjoy the fruit of his labor,
liegiu on your lettuco as soon as
there are heads large enough to
eat. The others will come along
rapidly enough in tho hot weather
which we will be gotting soon.
You can't begin too early on the
radishes, begin to remove carrots,
beets and turnips as soon as they
are a half inch or so in diameter,
this will leave more room for the
others. The thinnings from the
best rows make excellent greens
cooked as spinach. "

GOOD
ROADS
IMPORTANCE OF WAGON ROAD
One Drawback te Fall ef Rain Is That
Reads Ars Made Impassable
for Several Days.
But for one fact, all of us could re
joice In this rain, meaning as much
as It does to the growing crops. The
one drawback la the unfortunate fact
that the rain will make the roads al
most Impassable for several days. But
the rain Is not to blsnie for this state
of affairs. We are. We ought to have
roads on which the only effect of rain
would be to wash them clean —Just as
It does with the city pavements. And
It's not for the Joy-riders alone that
we need such roads, says Wichita
Eagle. If we had good roads, farmers,
who can't work In their flelda after a
rain, could do their hauling on such
days. Now the rain that prevents
working the fields prevents hauling to
market, except light loads, snd at a
prohibitive cost. The wagon haul of
agricultural products la Inflnlteslmsl In
distance, as compared with the rail
and water haul, yet It costs actually
more, according to government sts
tlstlcs. For the benefit of the fsrmer
we need good rosds.
MAINTAIN ROADS WITH DRAQ
No Bstter or Chsapsr Way ef Keeping

1 Road dragging Is so simple an under
taking, providing the road to be drag
ged Is first graded, drained and shaped
properly, that a summary of Its bene
fits cannot be presented too often,
writes Oeorge B, Harrison In Farmers
Mall and Breeso. Anyone can make a
drag and even a boy can keep s piece
of road In good shape with the proper
Instruction at the beginning. A 10-
inch or 12-Inch log between 8 snd 0
1 feet long or .two" 8 by 12 plsnks with
2 by 8 reinforcing strips of the same
length, four cross sticks, a chain,
jboards (or ths platform snd a metal
weajlnt strip are certainly procurable
anywhere.
j The theory (n road dragging which
has proved practicable for road Im
provement Is to smooth and shspe up
the puddled esrth of a road to fill the
ruts and holes snd force the water off
the roadway. "Puddled" earth on a
road Is the wet earth which has been
worked up by traffic so that It Is dense
and when compacted will not let the
water seep sway. If this compacting
'ls done without any direction ruts snd
holes appear and hold the water and
make a bad road. But If the puddlfd
earth be spread smoothly over the sur
face of the road with somewhst ot s
rounded effect It dries firm snd hsrd,

and the water, Instead of standing In
the road and making tbe holes deeper,
;must run off to the side—and the trav
eler has a good road.
| The road dragger, or "dragman," as
[he usually is called. Is like a clay work
jer when he shapes up the puddled
esrth and smooths tho road. He puts
|the surface In condition and gets the
water off, and the roadbed
'dries In that condition Instead of hold
ling the water and letting the traffic
'work the ruts deeper. The drngman
could not shape this up with dust sny
more than the clay worker could fash
lon his Image with dry dirt. But If he
gets out right after a rain, while the
'earth Is pnddled, he oen work his road
snd the traffic will help him, for the
water will be forced out and off the
surface. That Is why It Is so Import
ant to drag skdien the roads are not too
dry to puddle or compact Perhaps
the traffic Is sufficient to cut up the
roed after It Is dragged, snd this dis
courages the man who does the drag
ging. But In that rase he should fol
low over the road and do It sgsln If
necessary and win tho fight for a good
road. If he waits until the road Is
dry because tho vehlrles rut up his
dragged road he will simply plane off
the surfsce and not remove the trou
ble. If he drags a second or perhaps
a third time he will work toward a
hard surface. Impervious to water and
with a minimum of dost, which Is the
evidence of a well-dragged highway.
I'erhspS. If the vehicles cut s road
when It Is first being dragged, tho driv
ers may be persuaded to drive by the
side, If that Is feasible, while the road
Is first drying out or freezing.

Funds Insufficient for Expenses -An
Open Letter.
To the Governor
For your information and for the
Information of the public, ana in
Justice to ourselves, the directors
deem it proper to make a state
ment of the financial condition of
the three State Hospitals for the
Insane— Morganton, Raleigh anu
Uoldsboro, supplementing the state
ment furnished you a year ago.
These institutions are uu"jle to
meet the demands made upon them
—to take ail the patients who neea
their care and treatment—and in
many cusoa the people do not seem
to understand why this is so. The
public seems to be under the im
pression that the appropriations
committee of the Legislature made
ample provision for these institu
tions. The facts briefly stated fol
low :
The Legislature of I9lt made
provision for issuing #3,000,000 of
bonds for permanent improvements
—new buildings, etc.—at all ihe
State's educational and charitable
Institutions which include the Uni
versity, State Nprmal, A. ajii E.
College, Teachers' Training School
and other smaller institutions; the
schools for the deaf, the blind, the
feeble minded; and tho three hos
pitals for the Insane. The iS,O'J),-
000 is to be provided by bond issues
running over a period of six years,
the money being divided among all
the Institutions named, and for the
building of a hall of records In
Raleigh. The proceeds of the first
bond issue were largely devoted to
the latter iijrposo and up to the
present little money has been avail
alle from the builainef fund for 'he
State Hospitals.
This statement, however, Is not
a complaint 'hat the money for
building purposes is not available
up to this time. It is to show the
purpose of the #3,01)0,OflO bond Issue,
and to emphasise tho fact that hnil
all the money comlnof to the Hospi
tals been available the pus', year.
It would he useless to build now
buildings when the fund for main
tenance —to provide food, fuej,
clothing, medicnl attendance, nurs
ing, otc.-the running expenses of
the Hospitals—is nos,. sufficient to
take care of the patients these in
stitutions now hive; ana thit if
each of the Hospitals had room for
hundreds of additional patients
they could not lie received now be
cause there is no money for their
.■tot THIS P\CT CLEAR. The
53,000,000 bond issue win for build
ings and buildings alone; not a
dollar of that money can be used
to provide for support of patients,
and while the Legislature was lib
eral In makinij appropriations for
additional buildings, the estimate!
for support, made by the directors
made ufter ct refill study and sir
vey of conditions, were cut down
by the appropriations committee, so
that the hind is entirely Inade
quate, as his been stated, and re
ceiving additional oatlents except
as there are vacaiicl >s is out of th-J
question. The followlnn/J finan
cial statement of each of. h'.> three
State Hospitals shows the condi
tions as they are:

The deficit of each institutions
would have been larger but for th '
fact that much work and repil> -i
really needed were left undone b
cause all the funds Aver.* needed for
actual support of the patients.
The only supplementary fundi
ever available are such am Mints it
can he collected from pay patient;
and the sale of such articles as can
not he used by the institutions,
which has not heretofore been suf
flsient to cover emergencies tha'
could not tie foreseen and for which
no appropriation is made.
The estimate made by the, direr
torn for the supp irt o! the insti
tions and askcl of the Lejisli
lature, contemplated additions to
the population as well as the in
creased Cost of supplies and wages
of employes. The directors pro
tested when their estimates were
cut by the appropriations commit
tee, that the allowance would not
be aufflclent, and they called at
tention. a year ago, to the condi
tions which they foresaw and which
have resulted.
This is sim ly a statement of
facts concerning these institutions
which the people have a right to
know and which the directors feel
It their duty to f»ivc them. The

plies, and the increase in wages
necessary to keep sufficient help
to carry on the work of the insti
tutions, which It fa difficult to do,
has made the cost of support even
surpass the estimates submitted to
the Legislature. And When it is
remembered that the amount ask
ed (or support wa* materially re
duced, the present Situation Is easi
ly explained.
It is unnecessary to add tliat,
.'aced with these deficits, all econ
omies possible, consistent with de
cent and comfortable care for the
unfortunates In these institutions,
have been and are being practiced.

ed on Mr. Sharp, the American
ambassador, to make the prelimi
nary arrangements. The ambas
sador thanked the committee and
informed them that he wonld dis
cuss the plan with General Persh
ing.
Markers now decorate the graves
of the French, British and Bel
gian soldiers. -The marker to be
used for Americans is a metal
laurel wreath, about six inches in
diameter, surrounding an Ameri
can flag. It will be supplied to
tmits in the army, the name of
the soldier, his unit and the date
of his death to be placed on a metal
strip huug from tho marker.
Already 700,000 of the wreaths
have been distributed among the
Entente allied troo|M. Ambas

showed the gratitude of France
for the American war spirit.
